Argentina also broke their duck of 32 years to win the World Cup as one of the greatest players Lionel Messi got his hand to the coveted trophy.

In this article, we will take a look at the three best midfielders in world football in 2022.

Jude Bellingham - Borussia Dortmund and England

Jude Bellingham has been phenomenal for both club and country during 2022 and his stock continues to rise. The 19-year-old continues to earn rave reviews with his all-round midfield showings and has been linked with some of the biggest clubs in Europe, particularly Liverpool and Real Madrid. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder had a sensational FIFA World Cup campaign in England colours. At the age of just 19, the Englishman is already one of the best midfielders in the world.

Kevin De Bruyne - Manchester City and Belgium

Kevin De Bruyne has always been in great form for Manchester City and is arguably the best creative midfielder in the world right now. While the midfielder could not help Belgium to advance to the round of 16 in the World Cup, he continues to make a difference for Pep Guardiola's side week in week out. He was a key force in helping the Cityzens retain their Premier League trophy last season and has been assisting for fun this campaign.

Luka Modric - Real Madrid and Croatia

Luka Modric might be 37 years old right now but he is still getting better and better with age like a fine wine. Modric helped Real Madrid win both La Liga and the Champions League last season and also helped Croatia to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup. If not for Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Modric could have been regarded as the undisputed best player of the generation. He is already one of the best midfielders of all time and is cementing his status more and more.
